Out of all the skulls like this I have seen, this one looks like more than just 'shaping it' from birth. It looks more like a birth defect or a genuine alien, imo.(says the armchair archeologist and ancient aliens fan)

That's a really strange skeleton.
I find it really odd that the "child's skull" is as big as the adult researcher's skull who is holding it.
It would be very surprising to come across a child with a head that big.
Thanks for the read, it was really interesting.

with Pye's skull (the only one I am calling alien at this point) the artificial manipulation is what makes it alien. how else was this accomplished? bamboo technology?

As for the DNA test, I feel if there is any possibility that it would test positive for alien we'll never be told the truth.
There is no "testing positive for alien". At most the DNA would display unrecognized sequences.
I've mention this a number of times that our present systems of DNA detection multiples and analyse DNA we are use to dealing with not something 'different', of course if it 'different' then the system won't work......

Looking at the skull my guess is that it's terrestrial.
Reasons are that there 'appears' to be a kind of boney structure, maybe a nose?
Also the mouth appears to be quite wide which is different from the usual small slit described for a mouth.
Given that there is also other bones there surely they can look at different structures of the arms, ribs ect..
You never know though, anything's possible!

Cephalic disorders can cause enlarged skulls.. it happens and it's happened through history.. combined with ritualistic skull shaping, this would and could very well explain it..it's certainly an interesting find.. but jumping to conclusions should be avoided until there are facts =) .. IMO

You jumped to conclusions.
I made no conclusions other than "I would be surprised to come across it".
Did I say anything about it's origins or causation? Nope. I left that in the air to be decided at a later date when more evidence is provided.
So why are you jumping to the conclusion that I jumped to a conclusion?
You should probably avoid it until I make a clear statement rather than assuming I inferred it, which I didn't infer anything.

Genuine alien I think is a leap that doesn't warrant being made as of yet.. that's an extremism with very little supporting evidence.. it's why the alien/ufo community is never taken very seriously also..The need to believe and thereby also prove .. drives the group so much that it tends to forgo facts and just pile on as much as it can to try to support the idealogy.
The alien/ufo topic DESERVES attention from the mainstream science community but they tend to avoid because of all the stigma brought on by the community because of all the nonsensical things thrown in..
